I seem to see a lot of cards nowadays that I know I need to add to my collection after first blush. Call it love at first card sight. This was, as you'll shortly see, one of those obvious cases. I may have overpaid by a couple of dollars, but to ensure its place in my Captain Getz PC, it was worth every penny.
Or loonie, for our friends to the Great White North. Numbered 65/99, the fantastic beaut you see above comes from 2011-2012 Panini Limited, and hails from the Stanley Cup Winners subset. It's just a fantastic job of card design and color coordination, as the silver on-card signature works so amazingly well on the black and glossy background. The scan doesn't do it near enough justice. It pairs exceptionally well with the non-autographed version I have of the card, which I posted on back in July (#'d 15/199, to his number baby, woo woo).
Man, I love Limited and new additions of the Getzlaf variety.
Dang.
ReplyDeleteCup and card envy.
Hadn't seen those, very nice auto!
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of card companies having athletes use silver sharpies on dark (especially black) backgrounds. Beautiful card.
